Description

Image forming apparatus
Invention field
The present invention relates to a kind of electrophotographic image-forming apparatus, for example, use duplicating machine, fax and the printer of electrophotographic system.
More specifically, the present invention relates to a kind of electrophotographic image-forming apparatus, said device comprises: use the blue laser with short wavelength as the exposed portion of writing exposure light; Use has the discharge portion of long wavelength's red LED as discharging light; And the Electrophtography photosensor that contains charge generating material with the absorption region that is used for these two kinds of wavelength.
Background technology
The image of electrophotographic system forms, and carries out through recharge, exposure, development, transfer printing, cleaning and discharge step around photoreceptor.
In recent years in,, higher printed resolution is increased with the requirement that higher resolution and colorize are combined with regard to picture quality.
In order to obtain higher printed resolution, must make the diameter of exposure station littler.In addition, for the diameter that makes exposure station is littler, the vibration wavelength that shortens its light source is effective.
For example, when using vibration wavelength as the only about half of short wavelength laser of the vibration wavelength of the conventional laser device in the near-infrared region during as light source, the spot diameter of laser beam on photographic layer can reduce almost half in theory, as indicated by following formula (1):
d∝(π/4)(λf/D) (1)
Wherein d is the spot diameter on the photographic layer, and π is a circular constant, and λ is the wavelength of laser beam, and f is the focal length of f θ lens, and D is the diameter of lens.
Therefore, shorten the vibration wavelength of exposure light, be used for the writing density of sub-image for increase, that is, it is very favorable increasing resolution.
Therebetween; Because the energy of each photon and wavelength increase with being inversely proportional to; Therefore compare with the ruddiness with long wavelength, the blue light with the short wavelength in the near ultraviolet band more possibly chemically change material through the light deterioration, because material repeatedly is exposed to short wavelength's light in over a long time.
That is, in over a long time, be exposed to the material (in the situation of electrophotographic image-forming apparatus, being included in charge generating material and/or charge transport materials in the photoreceptor) of light, stand the light deterioration with short wavelength.
The uncensored patent of Japan announces that No.2005-181991 discloses the longer discharging light of wavelength ratio exposure light wavelength that use has.But, announce among the No.2005-181991 that in the uncensored patent of Japan the wavelength relationship between discharging light and the exposure light is in 380nm to 520nm, and the blue light with 520nm or following wavelength still is used as discharging light.That is, photoreceptor still stands the light deterioration after using over a long time.
In utilizing the step of exposure of exposure device and utilizing in the discharge step of electric discharge device and using the rayed photoreceptor.
Discharge step applies light through the whole zone to photoreceptor, being used to eliminate after transfer step and the cleanup step unevenness of remaining electric charge on photosensitive surface, and is that in charge step subsequently, to regain the uniform charging state necessary.
In general, the amount of discharging light is about 3 times to 5 times of amount of exposure light.
Exposure light only is applied to image area, more particularly, after being modulated into the amount that meets each image density, is applied on the image section of image area.On the other hand, discharging light was applied on the whole zone with constant amount before charge step.
That is to say; In a series of images forming process of charging, exposure, development, transfer printing, cleaning and discharge; Exposure device with light with the amount that meets image density be applied to photoreceptor only with the corresponding part of picture size, more particularly, be applied to the part that image exists.
On the other hand, before the charge step in above-mentioned a series of images forming process, electric discharge device must be applied to whole zone with 3 times to 5 times the amount of maximum of exposure light with light.
That is to say that major part will be applied to the only discharging light of photoreceptor.
In general; Use blue light to make public in the high printed resolution image forming apparatus of writing therein with short wavelength; Use has the photoreceptor of sensitivity in the short wavelength zone, and therefore, in discharge step; Also use the light that in wavelength region may, has sensitivity, promptly use blue light to discharge.Therefore; Make public and use in the image forming apparatus that light with short wavelength discharges at the light that use has a short wavelength, photoreceptor always is exposed to the light with short wavelength, and when using over a long time; Because the light deterioration causes its performance degradation, causes image deterioration.

In embodiment that uses near near the photoreceptor A that has enough sensitivity wavelength 405nm and the wavelength 780nm 1 and comparative example 1 to 3, under any condition, all obtained remarkable result at initial period.
Specifically, in the embodiment 1 and comparative example 1 of the exposure light that uses 405nm, obtained remarkable image, comprised with comparative example 2 and compare the higher resolution image that can accurately duplicate with 3.
In addition, formation repeats to image, with the assessment durability.In using the comparative example 1 and 2 of blue light as discharging light, when number reached 75k, image level descended, and after number reaches 100k, the quick deterioration of picture quality.
In addition, when number reach 200k and accomplish the test after photoreceptor is observed, find that change has taken place its surface quality.
On the other hand; In the embodiment 1 and comparative example 3 that use ruddiness as discharging light, even when number reaches 125k, initial remarkable image level is still kept; Subsequently; When number reaches 200k, reduce although compare image level with initial level, also still keep the acceptable image level.
In addition, after number reaches 200k and accomplishes test, photoreceptor is observed, found the not variation of the quality of photoreceptor own, become to have tiny flaw although worn and torn in its surface.
Comparative example 4 to 7 has used photoreceptor B, and it has enough sensitivity near the 405nm wavelength, but near the 780nm wavelength, does not have enough sensitivitys.
In the comparative example 6 and 7 that uses 780nm exposure light, can not obtain enough to eliminate the sensitivity (dark potential) of electric charge.That is to say that dark potential is almost kept former state, even after exposure, the result, but can not obtain to comprise the printing of recognition image, because image does not have enough density.
In using 405nm exposure light and the comparative example 4 of ruddiness as discharging light; Obtained to have the image of sufficient density; But the memory of the electric charge that before charge step, produces through exposure and transfer printing; Can not eliminate through discharge, the image that begins to produce from initial period just stands the influence of phantom memory, thereby has stoped the generation of normal picture.
In use 405nm exposure light and the comparative example 5 of blue light, high resolving power, accurate and remarkable image have been obtained at initial period as discharging light.But when number reached 75k, image level descended, and after number reaches 100k, the quick deterioration of picture quality.
In addition, when number reach 200k and accomplish the test after photoreceptor is observed, find that its surface quality changes.
Following table has been summed up the result once more.
Table 2
